Better but still needs work

The Daily Sections seem to have been fixed so that they are no longer too sensitive to the touch. Thank you for that!
The hourly still has the same problem as before. It’s still too sensitive. So you lose a star.
Also fixed is the glitch that made viewing the video/forecast difficult to switch back to the app’s home page. It’s much better.
I like the improvements to the radar, too.
But when you really need it, like to see severe weather coming, it’s too inconsistent. I had severe weather coming today and could not use the radar. It was showing from 6 hours earlier, and would not update. That doesn’t help any. And not the only time this has happened.

C’mon… the ads make this unusable

The “Important Weather Alert” video I waited for through an awful ad to watch was literally fewer than five seconds long and had no audio description. It jumped right into another ad, so I had no opportunity to rewind or pause it.

Better but still needs work

The Hourly and Daily Sections seem to have been fixed so that they are no longer too sensitive to the touch. Thank you for that!
Update: Actually only the daily forecast section has been fixed. The hourly still has the same problem as before. It’s still too sensitive. So you lose a star.
Also fixed is the glitch that made viewing the video/forecast difficult to switch back to the app’s home page. It’s much better.

Keep working on it.

Much Better. Good work!

Keep up the good work! If further updates work as well as this one does, and on a consistent basis, you’ll get that 5th star!

Update still needs work, you lose a star because over a year later it hasn’t been fixed

The Hourly Section is too sensitive. You lose another star because you STILL haven’t fixed this. But hey, maybe I’m being unfair. Maybe you just haven’t had enough time, it’s only been OVER a year now.
Sometimes I just want to swipe to see a few hours ahead, but every time I even barely graze this area, it always switches me to the full screen Hourly forecast. If I wanted the full Hourly screen, I’d have chosen it at the bottom of the screen.
Also, when you click to the video to see the day’s forecast, you can’t get back to the Home Screen afterwards. You have to exit the app altogether. Very annoying.
Lastly, radar now takes way too long to load.
Radar sometimes won’t load at all. As severe weather gets to be more of a risk, this becomes more important to fix, please. Having the radar load is a safety issue. Thanks.

Update still needs work, you lose a star because months later it hasn’t been fixed

The Hourly Section is too sensitive. Sometimes I just want to swipe to see a few hours ahead, but every time I even touch this area, it always switches me to the full screen Hourly forecast. If I wanted the full Hourly screen, I’d have chosen it at the bottom of the screen.
Also, I’d like to be able to customize the radar to always show my preference of showing both clouds and precipitation, instead of having to customize this every time I visit the app.

Glitch in the app over a year

There’s an issue when trying to slide through the day forecast and with the 10 day forecast. I cannot slide through without it opening up the whole section on weather. We used to be able to just slide through the spots without opening the whole new tab. I’ll give the last two stars when this gets fixed.

Just ads and past weather

No realtime radar information as to tornado directions. That is only on tv 3 channel.
When one is in a basement without tv accessibility, use My Radar App. Get a weather radio it much safer. Not helpful AT ALL in severe weather conditions.

Radar

Why is the past radar not available anymore? Was very nice feature.

Annoying ads

I like the app, but I find the advertisements really annoying and offensive with scantily clad women in provocative poses.

Near my location notifications

Recently I have been getting notices of “a weather alert near my location”. They are no where near my location! The weather alert I get 5 out of 10 times, is on the complete opposite of the state from me!

Dropped the ball on a tornado warning

I got an emergency alert on my phone from NWS Milwaukee Sullivan of a tornado warning in my area and they told me to check local media. I opened your app and found NOTHING during the entire 45 minute period of the warning. I tried to access the video that normally broadcasts local coverage of the storm and I saw a 404 error message. I was getting repeated alerts from other parts of the state through your app, but when it came to my local area? Zero. Yeah, you guys really dropped the ball on this one. I used the 45 minute window of this warning to test other apps and found that another local network affiliate did much better. So I’m uninstalling y’all.

It flashes

The radar seems touchy and flashes in past and future mode! Also not very accurate as to where the rain actually is, I have heard heavy rain near your location and it’s not even near my location

Works fir the most part

As mentioned before, the biggest issue is when I’m using the current radar loop, it looses it and gives you a ‘???’ For the end time. Annoying. I use this feature the most. But not for long. Gonna find another app that works.

Confounding

This app just frustrates me these days.
After watching thirty seconds of ads, you’re treated to a teeny tiny snippet of weather coverage—like “It’s going to snow today”. Then, you have to watch another thirty seconds of ads to get an equally unhelpful snippet that would only be informative if strung together with about six of the reports. Now they have these worthless, soundless computer animations that are too small and pass by too quickly for me to read and consume.
Please, just please—advertisement, semi-thorough report, synopsis. I’d super appreciate it

Doesn’t switch cities or refresh well

Bad weather app for those who travel.
If you switch cities, it says the new city at the top of the page, but still only shows the current conditions, and 10 day forecast, for Madison.
Also doesn’t refresh the radar well if you use the radar, then want a refresh an hour later.

Worthless.

Used to be okay...I don’t know what changed, but now after I sit through the endless loading ad, I get a black screen that says “this app isn’t available in your location” even though I’m in the viewing area.
